TechEye - Jobs proclaims the iPad II is the saviour of the universe - Commentshttp://www.techeye.net/hardware/jobs-proclaims-the-ipad-ii-is-the-saviour-of-the-universe
A gaggle of carefully selected fanbois is packing the halls for Apple’s launch of the iPad this evening.We are not invited – neither will be the INQster nor the Rogister – after all you don’t want hacks asking awkward questions, do you?http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specificationen-GBMon, 07 Mar 2011 14:39:20 GMTBy: The Mad HatterIf you check out my article on the Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field, I did a comparison on prices for a lot of Apple kit, and it's the same price as everyone else's kit, if you are careful and compare similar products. I actually predicted the IPad's base price of $500.00 when everyone was saying it would be $1000.00, based on a study of Apple product pricing.
One of the points that everyone forgets is that Steve Jobs wanted to bring the Apple Mac in cheap to keep competitors out of the market, but his Pepsi boss wouldn't let him price it the way he wanted.
You might also want to look at my Tablet Wars articles, about 7K words worth of research. My conclusion is that Microsoft started working on Windows for ARM in the summer of 2009. This is based on information from Mary Jo Foley and Charlie Demerjian. Now admittedly I could be adding 2+2 and getting 6, but I don't think so.

Interesting point - it's a shame Foxconn is almost completely unreachable for comment, though it's unlikely they'd discuss that anyway.
What I find remarkable is that with the next generation of the iPad, its high profile rivals, running on Honeycomb, will be significantly more expensive! Quite a contrast from the mobile market where Android has managed to cement a favourable and comparably cheaper position compared to Jobs' "luxury" products.http://www.techeye.net/hardware/jobs-proclaims-the-ipad-ii-is-the-saviour-of-the-universe#comment-35807

If you add up the BOM, and take into account Apple's economy of scale, they'll be making more money per unit than everyone else, especially since they've screwed Foxcon out of every last penny.
And it's the last that will come to haunt them. Foxcon doesn't have the money to expand fast, because Apple pays as little as possible. If orders for the IPad 2 are as high as I suspect, Apple won't be able to keep up, which will allow Android to take a significant share of the market.
It should be interesting.http://www.techeye.net/hardware/jobs-proclaims-the-ipad-ii-is-the-saviour-of-the-universe#comment-35801

I'm afraid my knowledge of this area is somewhat limited - but let me know if something still looks off? (or if we're using the wrong data!)

I don't believe the P/E for ARM.L. Shouldn't that be more like 95? Are you mixing up US and UK data somehow?
According to Google Finance
Company name Price P/E
ARM Holdings plc (ADR) 29.48 94.90
ARM Holdings plc 604.13 94.43
Your ARM Price: ~600
Your ARM P/E: ~3104
Actual P/E: ~95
3104/95 = 33, which is close to the ARM (ADR) price of 30.http://www.techeye.net/hardware/jobs-proclaims-the-ipad-ii-is-the-saviour-of-the-universe#comment-35612
